Zhangbucker Paul Bunyans??? Any experience

[Jethro]

I happened upon some soundclips with these pu's and think I may have found the sound I'm after...

Just wondering if there's any experience or opinions on these?

[bsnow17]

[Jethro]

Great, I'd appreciate any feedback

No seriously, can you tell anything about the nuances of the pickup from that?

i was thinking the same thing - the forward cocked wah position sounds different and not in a good way - i have heard fans of this setup don't use the cocked wah sound for playing clean, but it sounds better when used for dirty/distorted sounds - as always, ymmv -

That is definitely not helping me make a decision....

I have one and I like it, beefier than a normal tele, but if you roll the volume back a little it get's a more vintage sound, I have it set up quiet low (far away from the strings). The guy who makes them is sound, and very helpful. I think he kinda makes them to order, so you may be waiting a couple of weeks for one. He made this in a set for me with a mini-hum and a strat middle and I'm really happy with the whole set.

Yes they are made to order and it takes a few weeks to get them I ordered mine on Sept and they should be here this week I believe he still has a sale going on right now too it was 15 off each pickup which is cheaper than a lot of new non boutique pickups

Scratch that they just came in the mail hopefully I will get them installed tonight

I have the Super PBs.

They don't really "twang". Not muddy, but not twangy either.

I like them better with amps that are a bit mid-scooped. They have pretty strong mids that can get a bit honky/nasally to my ear with certain amps. But with the right amp, they flat-out rawk.

I think I put a clip of them on here somewhere.

I would expect the regular PBs to be a bit brighter in the top and less pronounced in the mids.

But David's a fantastic guy to deal with.

Jethro, I'm downtown. Shoot me a pm if you want to come over and hear them first hand and we'll see what we can arrange.

Cheers,
Geoff
